We gotta warn Mars!

Of course we do, but that asshole on the bridge was right - they may not get them all, and it'll only take a few. I think I have a better idea. Jim, Amos!

Holden

You guys are OK?

Yeah. We couldn't reroute all the pods, but we were able to turn their transponders back on. Mars can target them now, but we're worried that they may not get them all.

PPrax

[In the elevator to the surface] Holden!

Holden

Go! [To Naomi] And if they don't, they'll blame earth and this war will just go on.

I know. There's a way that we can shoot all the pods down before they reach Mars: Fred Johnson! He has the missiles he stole from earth, he can destroy those pods.

Holden

You want to send their transponder codes to [Fred Johnson]...

Tycho is near their flight path. He could kill a lot, maybe even all if we're lucky.

Holden

If he shoots them down before they reach Mars, the attack never happens.

Maybe a path to peace for both sides.

Holden

If he captures them, we're handing him another weapon!

I want to do this, but we all have to agree, all of us!

Alright, I'm in!

It's worth a shot...

Holden

I agree.

Naomi Fred, I think I might have a have a way for the belters to strengthen their position as an equal player in the system and also do some good...

MSMonica Stuart

Jules-Pierre Mao's project wreaked havoc throughout the system. The Protomolecule killed so many, brought Earth and Mars to the brink of annihilation, You had a major effect on those events. And that led you to this: the Ring. How does that make you feel?

Holden

Kind of makes me want a donut.

It's gone...

Holden

What do you mean "it's gone"? It went back out of The Ring?

No - no, that one looks different. See, the probe maintained the speed limit and then touched the other side of that bubble and then something happened to it, like, uhm, blinked out of existence...

Holden

Well, we should probably keep away from the edges then...

Yeah, that's a good safety tip. [clears his throat] So, we return and the MCRN catches us and we go straight and we're gonna reach the other side of that bubble.

Holden

We have until then until we figure out another option!

What are you slowing down for? You're doing fine...

Holden

Where the hell have you been?!?

Ah, gonna get to the crime scene, gonna check out the clues...

Holden

No! No more crime stories! I wanna know exactly what you know!

"Oh, so you want to talk about the non-local quantum hologram, the phase-conjugate adaptive waves resonating in micro-tubules in the brain, which of course require some closed timeline curves and Lorentzian manifold, and…You catch up, I’ll wait"

Holden

So, crime scene...

Crime scene! We gotta go! Come on, to the station, to the nucleus...

Holden

That, that thing in the middle of the place that grabbed the ship and the torpedoes...

[gesturing that Holden is right] I gotta case to solve and you want the truth...

Holden

You seem different...

Well, my signal's pretty good inside the ring, it's uh, it's [really] good - you're coming or not?
